As Seen On Stream

>> So today, if I'm somewhat absent from the blog it's because a) I'm prepping a heffer of a Christmas feast for friends which requires my full attention and from a more relevant fashion point of view, b) I'm taking part in Nick Knight's 100 Portraits for the March issue of i-D, mirroring the one he did for i-D's 5th Birthday in 1985.  Yup, today, alongside Hussein Chalayan, Lara Stone and Simon Foxton (oh dear, just nearly peed myself thinking how embarrasingly wrong this could go…), I will have my portrait taken by Nick Knight and it will be *gulp* streamed live on SHOWstudio (I'm scheduled for 3pm but it might be later than that…). 

Now I haven't quite done the maths and I guess 100 people is a lot in terms of numbers and thankfully there are a lot of familiar faces in the selection but I still can't quite figure out why on earth I somehow made it to the list… and given that I got a week's notice on this, I'm think it's a case of someone dropping out and me being the filler (that isn't self deprecation by the way, it's just common sense).  Still, being 'filler material' for a Nick Knight shoot is no skin off my back and the shoot could perhaps do with some very awkward posing on my part (Bishi is on at the moment and her Union Jack dress is blowing up a storm…).

SHOWstudio's Twitter has been detailing proceedings with plenty of updates and Twitpics…. and the list thus far is both terrifying, awe-inspiring and a little random as well…

Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Nicola Formichetti, Vivienne Westwood, Riccardo Tisci, Caryn Franklin, Sølve Sundsbø, Stephen Jones, Christopher Kane, Karla Otto, Phoebe Philo, Charlie Porter, Boy George, La Roux and err….Jedward (???)

Tune in then if you're at all bothered and can in fact stream vids at work… at around 3ish to see me looking incredibly worried…

  28. OH MY GOD! your portrait taken by NICK KNIGHT!!!!! I’d be happy just to meet him. too late here to watch the live stream though. Enjoy the experience!!!

  32. susie you were awesome! hope you enjoyed it and nick knight seems like such a nice guy as well!

  34. Hey Susie atta girl I am so happy for you ! Have just watched your photo session and no you didn’t look incredibly worried, maybe you hide it well because you just looked very lovely and Nick Knight seems to have been particularly nice and laidback with you
    ps thanks for telling us about showstudio, the only problem is that it’s addictive and instead of working on a translation I keep on zapping back to somerset house !!
    pps. keep up the good work (as always) on your blog; I personally learn lots from it
    take care and keep flying

  36. Today’s sitters include Pam Hogg… LOL
    Did Hogg-Gate come up at all? 😀

  38. No way, I left London this morning…too bad I couldn’t stay and check out your photoshoot. Must have been so surreal! Wow. Can’t wait to see the outcome of these shots!

  39. There is a slight chance you were filler material, but I doubt it. You are incredibly important in the fashion world! You are at the head of a new generation of *urgh* “fashionistas”! You are the internet. You are the future. You are AWESOME!

  43. SSoo awesome!! I must remember to buy that issue, and u must keep it for your grandchildren 🙂 Congrats Susie, having followed ur blog since 06 (soz I’m not much of a commenter) I really am so happy for you. Sammi

  46. Susie!!!!!!
    Wow that’s great…… What a great experience….. AND HOW THE H–L CAN YOU WONDER what you’re doing on the list…. You have no idea how respected your blog is…. You’re like OUR Anna Wintour, but with a better haircut and without the Devil & the Prada…. ( plus you’re cute so the picture will be great ) Want to see the picture as soon as possible….

  47. Susie you were most certainly NOT filler!±
    I, on the other hand, made sure I was!
    Sorry this is so late. Wonderful to see you as always.
    Roll on A/W 2010! Or at least, 2010
    love,
    Alex.

  49. Thanks for all the encouragement guys!
    Fazenda: It IS addictive isn’t it and the stream quality happens to be good to…
    Tanya: Pam was shot earlier in the day…. not an issue that came up at all ; )
